Re: Sonar 2012 and Off Sonar events

It is crazy, right? This is kind of stupid yet confusing question I'm having. The events beginning at midnight - I count those as going from midnight to 5am or whatever of the date they are listed for, yeah? This could change some things for me and I need to be sure I'm doing it right. Looking at the schedule at first it's like, oh I can't do ______ because I'm already doing something else that night BUT now I have to remember it's the morning.... right? And if anything it will conflict with things I'm doing the night before...?

Oh geez... I don't know. I was counting them as part of the night before, I guess.

I really want to try to jump around from party to party, but I feel like I have to see what Sonar by Night actually has on each of these nights (like... I don't want to miss Squarepusher!!). The whole thing is overwhelming, especially when I consider I will be in a strange city, with a language I don't really speak. Heh. At least the metro is easy to use and runs practically all night on weekends.

Re: Sonar 2012 and Off Sonar events

Yes, I've heard great things about LBS but I haven't been able to really get into any of the recordings I've heard. Saturday night Sonar is still in the air - I gotta see when CLR will have their showcase and also what that East Ender lineup looks like.

That song is AMAZING.

Ok so Hessle Audio show just got trumped. Will update the first post with the info received regarding East Ender for that night. That's where we will be for most of the night. CLR stage: Chris Liebing, Tommy Four Seven, Marcel Dettmann, Terence Fixmer (live), Brian Sanhaji (live) and a Loco Desolat showcase with Loco Dice & Marco Carola, and possibly a 3rd Visionquest stage. bah.

Re: Sonar 2012 and Off Sonar events

I am COMPLETELY overwhelmed. I'm avoiding looking at any more after party info for a while, and am just going to watch Squarepusher videos all day.

BTW, I've been crawling through google searches, trying to figure out when the Sonar set times were announced last year, no luck. Knowing what time some key artists were playing would make decisions a little easier.

Here is my super tentative off sonar plan:
Wed Jun 13 - Rejected vs. Saved @ Mac Arena Mar Beach Club (14:00-03:00) - If I have time & it's not too crowded. It's free.
Wed Jun 13 - Ovum Showcase @ BLVD Culture Club (23:00-05:00) - Pretty excited about several of the acts on this one. Wink was great when I saw him earlier this year.
Thu Jun 14 - Half Baked Rooftop Party @ Miramar Club (14:00-03:30) - Haven't gotten tickets for this one yet but really like the lineup. Will probably hold off and see if I can find out what time Max is playing at Warehoused. Seems like a fun thing to do in the early evening before the other parties get started.
Thu Jun 14 - Classic Is Your Friend @ Blvd Culture Club (23:00-05:00) - The lineup changed on this one AFTER I bought my ticket (Prins dropped) but I would still like to try to catch some of this.
Thu Jun 14 - Warehoused @ Mephisto (23:00-06:00) - Mostly going for Max, but would like to catch Deetron and Oliver $ too.
Fri Jun 15 - Apollonia vs. Visionquest @ Mac Arena Mar Beach Club (12:00-03:00) - It's free, and this sounds fun.
Fri Jun 15 - Innervisions @ EM (15:00-0:05) - Really hope this doesn't conflict with anything I desperately want to see at Sonar. Not too interested in another Tale of Us set, but Dixon, Todd Terje, Ame, and Henrik Schwarz? Sure. Apparently a new venue too. (El Monastario?)
Sun Jun 17 - Get Physical Showcase @ Piscinas Municipales Montjuic (12:00-22:00) -

Kinda considering some of the Life & Death & Visionquest party on Thursday since it starts early (6PM). Lots of good names on that lineup.
East Ender thursday also looks good. Would like to see Liebing, Dettman, Tommy Four Seven, Guti, Luna City Express.
Thursday is too stacked.

I'd like to try to get to one of the Magda parties, even though those haven't worked out well for me up to this point. :P
The Mobilee stuff looks fun too, would like to see Pan-Pot

Re: Sonar 2012 and Off Sonar events

I hope you're able to make it!

Some of the Sonar stuff is appealing to me. There are a few acts on the Sonar by Day schedules that I'm not very familiar with, if I feel rested enough, I'm going to check some of that out, and I have to see Squarepusher.

Re: Sonar 2012 and Off Sonar events

I'm definitely going to Sonar by night on Friday. John Talabot and Squarepusher are my main two draws for this. Trying to reconcile that with my need to also be at Innervisions. And I plan on going to some of Thursday and Saturday's official events, just not sure how much yet.

Gah. I'm super bummed about this conflicting with the CLR showcase at East Ender. I have 2 tickets for this show so let me know if you want them... although now that I think about it, you'll probably need to show the cc at the door
